When choosing pistol or Ar-15 accessories, purpose of use and weight are the main considerations. Let's say it’s your first AR, the purpose…. range shooting and home defense. Purchasing accessories that serve more than one function will help you obtain each of these goals. The flat top M4 style weighs more than the standard carbine but that collapsible stock and all of those rails are difficult to resist! With hundreds of accessories to choose from, which should you consider? This section will help you make those decisions. For home defense a combination projected laser and illumination device would be an excellent consideration. These units are lightweight, easily activated and have very small profiles. They provide plenty of illumination and the projected red dot is a good deterrent. Great for pistols too! Range time requirements for your Ar-15 are different, combining a vertical grip with a bi-pod. The Grip Pod is a very well built combination of the two devices. Keep optical magnification to a 4x maximum. The ACOG Trijicon will allow you to acquire the target and keep you there. It has a great field of view and a tritium and fiber optics illuminated reticle, great for low light conditions. Click through our accessories pages as they develop for additional information and suggestions. The Ar-15’s produced today are accurate, compact and above all fun to shoot. Don’t overcomplicate matters, and above all keep those pistols and rifles lightweight. The key here is to “Simplify!”
